I have recently upgraded fro dapper to edgy and believe that I also now have this problem, the symptoms are as follows:
1. Gnome users settings often revert to default gnome settings when the user logs in to hosts which mount /home over NFS; 2. The following error is often reported when starting evolution on hosts which mount /home over NFS: “Failed to get lock using fcntl(2): Resource temporarily unavailable”; 3. The following error is often reported when starting firefox on hosts which mount /home over NFS: “Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system”; 4. Thumbnails displayed by nautilus (either on the desktop or in file system browser) occasionally revert to basic icons before the preview reappears again a few seconds later. Once again this only occurs on hosts which mount /home over NFS. Users either logging into the NFS server directly or logging in remotely using the gdm XDMCP chooser experience none of these problems. Unfortunately my home network is now virtually useless :-( -- Permission Denied on nfs clients for only some files https://launchpad.net/bugs/62308 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
